Historic B-52 and X-15 Research Program
The North American X-15 was one of the most important experimental aircraft in aviation history. Developed to investigate hypersonic flight, extreme altitudes, and the challenges of operating near the boundary of space, the X-15 contributed valuable knowledge to American aerospace research.
Modified Boeing B-52 Stratofortress aircraft served as airborne launch platforms for the X-15. Carrying the rocket plane beneath one wing allowed the research aircraft to begin its mission at high altitude before separating and igniting its rocket engine.
Two Aircraft and Display Options
This Atlantis release captures the famous B-52 and X-15 combination in a single model kit. Display the X-15 attached beneath the B-52's wing or separately using its dedicated stand. Optional external fuel tanks and updated USAF and NASA decals add interest to the completed models.
Assembly and Finishing
This Skill Level 2 kit offers an enjoyable project for builders interested in Cold War aircraft, experimental aviation, and the history of spaceflight. Atlantis recommends black, white, orange, red, and silver paints for finishing details.
Paint and plastic model glue are required and sold separately. This is an unassembled static plastic model kit.
